- Most treatments should be applied to the whole area of the affected skin, not just to individual spots or pimples.
- Some products should be tested on a small area of skin when using for the first time to test for any allergic reaction; see individual products for details.

Does acne mean not keeping the face clean enough?
Acne can be caused by a number of triggers, and however much you clean your face it’s not going to affect how crazy your hormones are being. Sometimes, cleaning your face too much can even contribute to acne as it can aggravate spots. After cleaning u sing alcohol-based cleansers can dry your skin out and this isn’t a good thing for pimples. Despite what you may think, and even if you feel like you have excessively oily skin, it’s still important to use a moisturizer – just make sure you opt for a non-comedogenic one.
